Oskar Richard Gütter, born in Markneukirchen in 1887, trained with A. Zeitler and then worked in several renowned workshops in the region, including Robert Nürnberger and Robert Penzel. After completing his apprenticeship and journeyman's years, he founded his own workshop in Markneukirchen. His work follows the tradition of the Vogtland violin makers of the early 20th century and is characterized by clear design concepts and reliable craftsmanship. The rich, glossy, orange-brown oil varnish is applied in a controlled, even manner and precisely highlights both the narrow to medium-grained spruce top and the strong, deep flaming of the two-piece maple back. In terms of sound, the instrument offers a brilliant, warm, and well-supported tone, whose carrying power and balance confirm the acoustic quality of the materials used. The origin is confirmed by the original brand stamp typical of Oskar Gütter. The violin is in excellent condition, which has been confirmed by a thorough inspection in our workshop, where it was prepared for playing. Free shipping, with a 30-day return policy.
